Left Tackle is the thinnest position in the draft. Armand Membou is looked at as a Right Tackle. Will Campbell will be given a shot at Tackle, but will most likely play Guard. Banks is more of a Right Tackle. That leaves Simmons coming off a major knee injury, Connerly, Ersery, and Trapilo. Any other remaining tackles would be looked at as Right Tackles or guards. Because of the scarcity of Left tackles in this draft, they will all be gone by the middle of the 2nd round.
Aireontae is a left-tackle. He's probably gone before our second pick. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Aireontae-Ersery-OL-Minnesota
25. DT Derrick Harmon - Oregon 58. OT Charles Grant - William & Mary 79. LB Jeffrey Bassa - Oregon 89. WR Savion Williams - TCU 166. RB Tahj Brooks - Texas Tech
Harmon is a NASTY dude! He's a ferocious defender. ESPN has him as their #2 DT. I would be happy to have him!
Watched Zabel tape yesterday. He looked really good. Very strong. Not sure why he’s not talked about more. FCS? …Knows how to pick up stunts and get off his first block and get to the second level. He is also able to play any position on the oline. I only have one concern. He gets his hands to the outside a lot, which makes it easier to control a rusher but will he get penalized for that in the NFL? Holding calls could be an issue. Not sure if he had penalties in college since I don’t know how to look that up. Played Tackle but I could see him at Guard as well. Only because I would like a Kelvin Banks, Ozzy Trapilo or (later) Hollin Pierce.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2025/...ayers-shedeur-sanders-jalen-milroe-mike-green Walter Nolen, DT, Ole Miss Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 26 Nolen is a big-time talent whose pro day performance was incredible, per multiple scouts. "Highest ceiling in the entire draft," a veteran NFL defensive coach said. "Not as big as [Jalen] Carter but has some of his traits." Added an NFC executive: "Impressive traits, and we were fine with his interviews." Nolen had pass-rush production with 6.5 sacks in 2024, a solid number for a 305-pounder. Multiple scouts have maturity concerns, however. There are several NFL scouting reports that reflect Nolen's history of walking off the practice field mid-session due to frustration. Opinions of his team interviews are varied, but one NFL personnel executive said Nolen came across as someone who wants to improve and shed bad habits. "He's searching for solutions," the exec said. "He's young." Nolen turned 21 in October. Going to a veteran-laden locker room could help Nolen. "Your hands will be full and you need a real plan for him, but I have a hard time thinking he falls out of the top 20," the coach said. Terrance Ferguson, TE, Oregon Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 78 Penn State's Tyler Warren and Michigan's Colston Loveland are battling for the top tight end spot, and which player goes first in the draft will depend on team preference. Loveland is considered the more explosive player, while Warren probably gets the edge on playing style and feel for the game. The third-best tight end prospect out of the Big Ten is Ferguson, a productive pass catcher with adequate speed and the ability to stretch the field. The question with Ferguson is physicality. "Good athlete, probably not as physical as you'd like," an AFC executive said. "Not quite as finesse as [Mike] Gesicki but not as physical as you'd hope. Though I think he has worked to answer that in the pre-draft process and the Senior Bowl." If the Eagles move on from Dallas Goedert, tight end could make sense for them on Day 2, a potential sweet spot for Ferguson. Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 61 One of the most productive running backs in the draft class finished 2024 with 1,537 rushing yards on 6.4 yards per carry and 21 rushing scores. Most evaluators consulted for this story have Johnson as a late Day 2 pick, while noting that fit will be crucial for him. "He's got to go to a wide zone [rushing] team," an AFC executive said. "The scheme fits him well, and he's going to be a solid pro, but if you're looking for somebody with early quickness or avoidability, he doesn't have that." Examples of wide zone rushing teams include the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers. ESPN ranks Johnson as the No. 5 running back in the class. The Denver Broncos, badly in need of tailback help, recently hosted Johnson on a top-30 visit. "Straight-line juice, very decisive when he gets north and south," an NFL personnel evaluator added. "He's not a sudden mover. He's a linear glider." Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona Scouts Inc. overall draft rank: 15 With no receiver unquestionably tracking for the top 10 (Travis Hunter notwithstanding), several are jockeying for top position. McMillan is among them, competing directly with Texas' Matthew Golden and Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka. McMillan has ideal size at 6-foot-5, 212 pounds, but while a 4.48-second 40 time from his pro day is solid, he's not known for creating separation. Any Mike Evans comparisons should probably stop early. Evans' 35 1/8-inch wingspan is nearly four inches longer than that of McMillan, who is listed nearly 20 pounds lighter than Evans. "The good is really good, but the bad is pretty bad," an NFL coordinator said. "The good is elite ball skills, burst after the catch. The bad is not running routes full speed." Added an NFL offensive coach: "I like him a lot -- he's not Randy Moss at 6-4 just running past everyone, but he catches everything around 10 yards and closer to the line of scrimmage, and he can physically get people off him to use his long arms to snag it. In a perfect world he'd be like the next Michael Thomas."
Yeah I figured. He's only projected to be a guard but I didn't want to go off what I seen but moreso what I see.
